Alan,
You're right, Alyssa and I do have a history, and that does create a
lens by which I read her words.
I won't go into the details right now, because I feel they would
detract from the overall discussion.
I wish Alyssa all the best in terms of her recovery. She (like I)

every other person who has been born with a neurological disorder?
You should absolutely be ashamed of yourself. This is the exact type
of behavior that a code of conduct should in place to stop.

Tom,
It would depend on which CoC we're discussing. I've already proposed
specific language to the mailing list CoC. This included:
1. Naming specific behaviors
I might also amend my recommendation to include mentioning specific
incidents to the person being discussed (not the public at large).
Just as a point of clarification, since I see words being thrown around.
Neurodiversity is a term like "gender diversity".
The term for people who fall inside the norms are "Neurotypical", and
those who fall outside the norms as "Neurodivergent". I don't love
the se terms, but they're the terms
I'm not arguing for an exception for unacceptable behavior, but I am
saying that we need to be cognizant of a few issues:
1. Whereas the Code of Conduct presumes that most behavior is done
with full knowledge and intent, we cannot really assume that. We can't
assume that if someone is behaving in
I don't know of any specific code of conducts that address
neurodiversity, and in some ways that's because our community doesn't
operate like any software project. It's closer to Wikimedia; I'll
reach out to the Wikimedians and see if they have any ideas.
It's a really delicate issue because you c
All,
I've been contacted by someone who wished to be unnamed but who is
concerned about the issues of a code of conduct and those who are
non-neurotypical. By non-neurotypical they mean people who have
autism, learning disabilities, tourette's disorder or other
neurological conditions which make s
I think the right way forward is to focus on directed efforts, rather
than try to have a single, unified code of conduct at the start.
This is for a few reasons:
1. I tried to create a CoC from the top down in 2010. It didn't work.
People don't like top down things imposed upon them.
2. There is
Rob,
That's a great question, and I since it's one that comes up often, I
think I can provide a little context that may help explain why you're
getting the responses that you are.
OSM has certain principles about how it maps (much like Wikipedia has
principles for article authors and editors). O
The difference between the Wikimedia Foundation and OSM is quite large.
Wikipedia is a large organization, with millions of dollars and paid
employees. It sets the direction it goes in from the top down, via
funding.
OSMF has decided to stay small over the years. It has made that
position clear t
